Xen and intel-agp

Xen and intel-agp

[Kurt Garloff]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 272 bytes --]

Hi,

starting to use Xen 2.0.1 with a self-compiled xen0 kernel
on my laptop (IBM T40):

It crashes immediately, if I insmod intel-agp in domain0.

Is this a known problem?

Regards,

Unless you're running a very recent 2.0-testing, the
patches/linux-2.6.9/agpgart.patch file was not being applied
automatically on xen0 builds.

It should work OK now (phys vs bus confusion in agpgart code).

 I asked the same about IBM X30, aparrently agpgart does not work under
xen, thus, I booted without graphical modules and it works fine.
 You could play with vga or vesa drivers, IIRC they do not depend on
agpgart.

If you want VESA to work you'll need to use the very latest
bleeding edge xen-unstable tree that supports vm86 mode.

It's in the 2.0-testing tree as well.

Hi all,

Did anyone has xen built with reiser4? I am using 2.6.9 + reiser4 (not 
mm) and this
is what I get while building xen0, xenU built without problem

Yup, I did.  I came across these two things:  reiser4 and Xen both
define a macro with one name, but the macro's "content" is exactly the
same IIRC.  I'm not sure whether renaming either one is necessary.
reiser4 includes two header files which leads to an error.  If one
includes the second one of these two files first, everything is fine. 
More details on how to fix them below.  (note, I'm using the first
"official release" of reiser4, which is a snapshot from 2004-08-13, so
it's quite old.  Maybe new probs have introduced since then...)

However, I didn't come to test whether it actually works (see nv_sata
problems...)

Here is the first of the two includes I mentioned (status_flags.c:6)

And this is the second one. (status_flags.c:7).  So just switch lines 6
and 7 of fs/reiser4/status_flags.c, and it should work fine.

This is reiser4's definition of the macro I mentioned.

And here comes Xen's.  Since it only says "warning", you probably don't
need to change anything to make it compile, but you may want to check
xen.h:13 and status_flags.c:12 to make sure they are exactly the same,
since I only remember that they looked the same :)
